#ProtestPower #NoKings #RightToAssemble

Protests work—but they’re getting more dangerous.

From stopping pipelines to shifting public opinion, organized protest has changed history. But today, protesters face tear gas, surveillance, and even vehicles weaponized against them. As public dissent grows, so does the backlash. We owe our protesters gratitude for standing up to power... despite the danger.

#Israel #Iran #Netanyahu

Why is Isreal attacking Iran... and does it benefit Benjamin Netanyahu? We unpack Israel’s recent strike on Iran through a dual-lens of security doctrine and political survival. The hard facts of Iran’s nuclear program suggests why many experts believe it poses only a medium-term deterrent risk. But Benjamin Netanyahu’s precarious standing: three indictments, a fractious Knesset coalition, and looming thre...

#MilitaryParade #Veterans #trumpism

Is Trump’s military parade really honoring veterans and our military—or just wasting taxpayer dollars... that could be spent on veterans!?

In this video, we dig into the stark contrast between the multi‑million‑dollar spectacle and the ongoing neglect of those who served: understaffed VA clinics, policy rollbacks harming trans service members, and the erasure of Black and Latino heroes from...

#Trump #ElonMusk #tesla

Are Trump and Musk really at war—or is it 2025’s shrewdest co-branding play?

In this 25-minute deep-dive we unpack how the public spat over Trump’s EV-tax-credit bill and “lost his mind” sound-bites actually fortify both brands:

• Musk reassures skittish investors (and liberal EV buyers) ...

#politics #Trump #TACO

Why does Trump really hate the nickname TACO?

It stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out"—a jab from Wall Street mocking how he caves on tariff threats.

But what really stings? It's not just the name.

It’s that it comes from the people he craves respect from the most: elite investors and financial media.

For a man who built his image on "never quitting," TACO cuts deep.

A Florida school just fired a teacher for using a student's chosen name. The law they are using to do this is extremely harmful to students. Not only is it bad pedagogy, but it can lead to abuse.
